This happens because the source package includes doctree pickles (in
which parsed rST sources are cached) were generated by Python 2.X, and
cannot be loaded by Python 3.X. Please ask upstream to exclude the
doctrees/ subdirectory from their tarballs. Meanwhile please use the
attached patch as a work-around.
So if I understand correctly the python-sphinx upstream bug entry, I
don't have to ask upstream to remove the doctrees, sphinx will detect
alone that it's not compatible.
It's still a bad idea for upstream to include them in the tarball:
- They take significant amount of space.
- They leak information about upstream's home directory layout; try this
for example:
$ strings docs/_build/doctrees/*.doctree | grep ^/User
Maybe more importantly, they are bad for us, because they are
unauditable. Quoting <http://docs.python.org/2/library/pickle.html>:
"The pickle module is not intended to be secure against erroneous or
maliciously constructed data. Never unpickle data received from an
untrusted or unauthenticated source."
Anyway, I made this pull request:
https://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/pull-request/34
Now a question about your patch:
override_dh_auto_clean:
- rm -rf docs/_build/html
+ rm -rf docs/_build/
dh_auto_clean
override_dh_auto_build:
cd registration && /usr/bin/django-admin compilemessages
+ rm -rf docs/_build/doctrees/
cd docs && $(MAKE) html
dh_auto_build
Why do you have to remove docs/_build/doctrees/ again in
override_dh_auto_build ? any dpkg-buildpackage call starts with
"debian/rules clean" and thus docs/_build will already have been
removed...
I don't believe one can assume that clean is always run before build.
dpkg-buildpackage does that, because it has no way of knowing whether
the package is in a clean state or not. But IMO the following is also a
legitimate way to build a package:
$ dpkg-source -x foo_*.dsc
$ cd foo-*/
$ debian/rules build
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
